They make you share rooms? Is this college?
I think it's weird. We're not fucking college students. It's weird to have to share rooms with other adults that you've never met before. Especially when some people are married and have kids at home. All so the partners can have a few extra dollars to buy that second vacation home...
EY does not make you share rooms at training. Sounds Fing terrible
I'm so glad I don't have to share a room anymore
I was usually drunk enough that I had no idea my roommate even existed until I heard them leave for breakfast in the morning.
@d1, not everyone is lucky enough to get DU 😁
I know but this is the big 4. Pwc needs to step it up.
My roommate this week hasn't shown up yet. So I'm pretty confident I've wound up with a room to myself for training.
Word of advice. Find a medical reason to require your own room, get a note from your doctor, tell HR you need own room. They're far to scared of a potential lawsuit to ever actually do deep digging on the subject. As long as you have a doctors note that will be enough.
Yeah exactly. The rule is below manager you have to share rooms. I'm a manager now but I was 28 years old at experienced hire training sharing a room with a 47 year old woman who despised drinking and snored way too loud and I almost quit on that premise alone.
Sharing rooms? Da struggle.
I'm about to find out if my firm expects me to share a room for training. I'm absolutely not okay with that. I sleep walk and take my clothes off in my sleep. How fucking awkward would that be for my roommate?
I honestly never found sharing a room to be that big of a deal. Not ideal I agree, but there aren't that many weirdos that work here and you're not even in the room that much. I wonder if cost isn't the only reason why they do it - some of the events are very large - probably tough to find a hotel with that many rooms.
It is SO cheap!!! That whole DU deal is pretty sweet.
seriously? It's not that big of a deal, you're not even in the room that long anyway. Plus, you might make a new friend.
I think having roommates is a general policy in almost all firms with national training. To be honest, such training does cost a lot of money and hotels aren't that cheap. Pair it with a fact that as a first year you probably aren't making much money for the firm and that would make sense.
Heavily discounted rates, weird, and agreed it isn't college. Are you also expected to share a room with engagement team members while out of town? As a staff or senior you are the primary source of revenue for the firm, you are the ones doing all the work, so not that profitable at your position is hogwash. I think it is just someone high up who pinches their wallet too hard
Dixon 1, no you don't have to share at other times. That's billed to the client
Damn my shit stinks so bad... Good luck to my roomie.
